PERFORANT PATH

Introduction to the Perforant Path The Perforant Path represents the primary afferent pathway supplying the hippocampal formation, serving as the critical anatomical and functional gateway through which cortical association areas influence memory encoding and consolidation. This major projection tract is defined by the axons originating primarily from the principal cells within the Entorhinal Cortex (EC) […]

SUBICULUM

Introduction to the Subiculum The Subiculum represents a critical transitional zone within the medial temporal lobe, forming an integral component of the greater hippocampal formation. Historically and structurally, it is situated adjacent to the hippocampus proper, specifically bordering the Cornu Ammonis 1 (CA1) region, and extending towards the entorhinal cortex. This strategic anatomical placement dictates […]
